I for one try to convey how concerned I am about this to everyone in my vicinity. One of my recent successes was to be able to get my grandparents to accept that there's a problem. We're still having our extinction booth at the lo

I've noticed again and again that some people just seem unable to accept the vast amount of evidence that has been piling up in front of their eyes for the last forty years. They do not seem able to process the data, primarily because

Well, our global society is going to collapse very soon. What possible reason to not be alarmist could one have? Seriously; our global civilization is in real danger of collapse in the next fifty years. I do see no reason not to panic or be

In theory. In practice, this wealth is controlled and overseen by privately owned commercial banks that look out for the interest of their owners, i.e. primarily the super-wealthy.

Rent-seeking might not be the only problem. Worker exploitation is also a serious issue on my list. How on earth can someone defend not paying a living salary for a full time job? Add to that that the legal framework (talking about the USA)

It would certainly help if the ultra wealthy and global corporations would just pay their fair share rather than use possible combination of barely-legal structures to avoid being taxed, bribe officials to create special exemptions, offload

Nice work! People don't really have an understanding of how much wealth has been coalescing in the last thirty years and this is a good start as showing them how skewed things really are. Seriously; this is dangerous. Concentrating tha

Putting it like that makes it easy to distance oneself from responsibility. Government is just a function of agreed upon values, rules and principles. It's really a failure of our society. We're all failing.

Or brains and reward-systems have evolved for an existence as semi-nomadic subsidence hunter-gatherers. We're not equipped to deal with "temptations" modern society has to offer. While porn might be a particularly good exampl

Might be a good thing in the long run. The nuclear family was a stupid idea anyway, putting the necessity of income over the necessity of an (extended) family. Children are not supposed to be raised by a single pair of mother and father, th

It's just numbers game. If you're interested in quick sex and you can send messages to dozens on women with very little effort, you do it. If just one percent signals interest, you already have a win. Why invest more time and ener

There's a very long and intense discussion waiting to happen in feminist circles about "consent to sex is not consent to fatherhood". It's been waiting since the early '70ies and it's still convinced that it&#x

The superoverrich are currently drowning in money. They don't know what to do with their money anymore. That's how you end up with the ridiculous stock marked and the bitcoin surges. If just a fraction of that money were put to go

I actually tend to agree on this part. Commercial colonialism is a real problem and we should force companies operating in developing countries to comply with strict ethical rules. Or else make operating there unprofitable.
